Chapter 247

~5 min read 912 words

Previously, as Zhang Xiao was just getting into the car, she saw a Husky staring at her.

She was also startled.

She hadn't expected there to be a dog in the car!

But the Husky only stared at her and took no other action.

After a while, she leaned against the dog and fell asleep.

The fur on the dog was fluffy, just right for sleeping on.

And on the other hand, it might also be because of her absolute trust in the person beside her.

The RV drove past an intersection.

The navigator showed that fifty meters ahead was the location of the coordinates.

But...

This intersection.

Ning Chen was familiar with it.

Back then, when he had just started dating Si Shiya.

Si Shiya was still living with a female colleague of hers.

That female colleague was named Zhao Mengmeng.

And Zhao Mengmeng's home was in a residential compound just inside this intersection.

Zhao Mengmeng also knew him, and because of Si Shiya's relationship, they were quite familiar friends.

Before Si Shiya moved away from here, he had sent her home many times.

Ning Chen's RV gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, he had a vague feeling.

This feeling came out of nowhere, but now he had indeed followed those coordinates to this region boundary.

The RV continued forward, turned past this intersection, and entered that road.

Forward, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters.

Finally, the RV's position perfectly overlapped with the coordinate position on the navigator.

Ning Chen's RV.

stopped right in front of the entrance to this residential compound.

And this was the place where Zhao Mengmeng lived.

Ning Chen looked at this location.

Why did the clue fragments suddenly give him the coordinates to the place where Zhao Mengmeng lived?

To make him come find Zhao Mengmeng?

Since Si Shiya's martyrdom, he had only met Zhao Mengmeng once.

That time, it was Zhao Mengmeng who had asked him out.

The two sat in a coffee shop, talking, speaking about many things from Si Shiya's life.

It was a mourning.

After that, he had never seen Zhao Mengmeng again, nor had he contacted her.

The system's clue fragments guided him, once again, to this place.

Clearly, it was to make him come find Zhao Mengmeng.

For a moment, Ning Chen's mind was a bit confused.

The clue fragments provided by the system before were all related to that case from back then.

Now, why would they guide him to come find Zhao Mengmeng?

Could it be that Zhao Mengmeng was related to that case from two and a half years ago?

But this coordinate, at this moment, was crystal clear.

Ning Chen turned off the engine, raised his hand, and unbuckled his seatbelt.

On the passenger seat beside him, the Husky was still sitting upright, but dozing; hearing Ning Chen unbuckle his seatbelt, it looked at him.

Zhang Xiao, her head leaning against the Husky's body, had been asleep for a long time.

"I'm going down for a bit; you and she stay in the car," Ning Chen said.

He naturally did not expect a dog to understand his words.

But he had indeed spoken to the dog just now.

And that Husky, with a serious expression, looked at him; although it did not nod, it seemed to have truly understood.

Ning Chen left the RV.

He lifted his foot and walked toward that residential compound.

After entering the compound, it was just past ten o'clock at night.

The first residential building directly facing the Damenkou was where Zhao Mengmeng's home was located.

So, that meant the coordinate indeed pointed to Zhao Mengmeng.

Ning Chen stood under a tree.

Shadow enveloped him.

He could clearly see the entrance to the residential compound.

He began to wait.

He didn't know how long he waited.

Outside the compound, the sound of a car came.

A small sedan drove to the entrance of the residential compound and stopped in a parking space outside.

A woman opened the car door and got out.

Ning Chen, in the shadows, saw her under the streetlight.

That woman was Zhao Mengmeng.

She walked toward the inside of the compound, arrived before the building, and was about to enter.

Suddenly!

As if sensing something, she turned around sharply.

Ning Chen, in the shadows beneath the tree, happened to be looking right at her.

"Who's there?" Zhao Mengmeng called out.

Ning Chen stepped out from under the shadows.

Under the moonlight.

Zhao Mengmeng clearly saw his face.

In that instant, Zhao Mengmeng's eyes widened greatly.

As if she could not believe her own eyes.

"Ning—Ning Chen?!!"

Zhao Mengmeng stared at Ning Chen.

"Mengmeng, long time no see," Ning Chen spoke.

A very easygoing remark.

Zhao Mengmeng still stood in place, then suddenly ran toward Ning Chen.

She ran over and stood before Ning Chen.

Her eyes remained wide open.

It was clear that at this moment, her emotions were very agitated.

"You... you finally..." Zhao Mengmeng spoke, but her voice choked up after just one sentence.

Ning Chen looked at her.

He thought it was simply because they hadn't seen each other in a long time, so Zhao Mengmeng reacted this way.

But.

He also felt that Zhao Mengmeng's reaction seemed a bit exaggerated?

And from Zhao Mengmeng's perspective, she still could not believe that the person she saw before her was truly Ning Chen!

That.

The person she had been worrying about and thinking of for so long!
